Mary Kom Meets Fan Who was Spotted Sobbing After her Defeat in Tokyo Olympics

Mary Kom, one of India’s favorite boxers, recently turned to Twitter to share a photo of herself with a fan on August 22. Notably, this is the same youngster who was recently shown weeping in a viral video following the defeat of her favorite athlete Mary Kom in the Tokyo Olympics 2020.

However, her unexpected elimination in the second round disappointed many.

Following her defeat, the video of the girl crying became viral, and Mary herself posted it.

The fighter had previously indicated her desire to please the admirer by sharing the footage. “Expensive sisters,” she had written. “If I get the opportunity to meet with you, I will give you a hug and salute you. If you’re thinking about doing any sports or boxing, I’d be delighted to assist you.” She said.

Many Twitter users were touched by this thoughtful act. Many people on social media expressed their joy at the meeting, and many stated Mary was a legend they were proud of. Netizens showed their admiration for her via their Twitter replies.

While others clapped and wished for the little girl to follow in Mary’s footsteps as a champion.
